I believe the Knicks now have 16 players under guaranteed contracts. Look for a trade soon or a player to be released.

Mutombo is too old; he probably would only make the Knicks more defensive and give them size. But by next year his production would slim fast and guys like Maciej Lampe and Mike Sweetney would be vying for his minutes. I don't expect Mutombo to make a huge impact even if he makes the SL. Kurt Thomas and Charlie Ward are gone by then, and if the Warriors don't trade Exel, then the Knicks are just sorry they signed mountain in the first place. Layden should have planned his decision-making better.
